    Default Wiess Lake Alabama


    Hey guys, just wanted to introduce myself. I know alot of you guys in Ohio come down to Alabama to fish lake Wiess every year. The wife and I recently bought the puretts fish camp. We have done tons of renovations and have the place looking pretty good. We're not done but things are progressing nicely. March and April are prime time to catch some great crappie but crappie fish here is pretty good year round. If anyone is looking to plan a trip check out our web site or give us a call.

    We just spent a month jumping around fish camps in Florida, and i will tell you there is nothing like 2 lb crappies to beat the winter blues, enough so that we are planning on heading south again next year. We traveled I-65 though Alabama and if the weather was warmer I may have spent a week or so at Weiss, Guntersville or Wheeler. I will keep your place in mind for next winter, we are planning on going down in Feb, which is closer to the southern spawn time, but I do agree big slabs can be had through out the year.

    It would be great to have you here. Don't overlook Neely Henry, it can be really good at time. Only half hour from here and guntersville is about 45 minutes or so.

    I haven't been down to Wiess Lake in years. I may try to talk a buddy into a trip down there next year myself.
    The group we used to go with just fell apart but I always had a good time down there
    If we make it down, I'll definitely check you guys out.

    Come on over for breakfast would love to meet you guys. There are a few crappie.com members who come in just about everyday. We open at 430 have amazing home made biscuits and you can launch from here. You pick a very busy time to come down lots of stuff going on.

    The crappie.com alabama forum guys are having there spring camp here at cowan creek the 29th through the 1st. I believe the head count is about 20 or so, there's a fish fry scheduled for that saturday. You should come by its going to be alot of fun having everyone here.

    Also every year lake wiess improvement associates puts on what they call the crappie rodeo that runs from February 1st to April 15th. They tag over a 1000 fish and release all over the lake. You buy a 15 dollar entry and if you catch one its worth some where between 50 dollars and 10 thousand dollars. This year they released 12 10k fish and are sponsoring a tournament on the 31st, 1k for big fish and guarantee 2500 first place.

    Thumbs up Coming your way

    Hello,

    We used to be regulars to Weiss a few years back and stayed with Terry Whaley. We were looking to return again this year and will be staying at your place March 23-30. We will definitely be in touch as we are mostly familiar with the North part of the lake and definitely not with the Cowan Creek area. We look forward to our stay. See you in a month!

    Bill

    That's why they call it Fishing and not Catching!

    As it turns out my friend showed up tonight and said let's go down to Weiss.
    Just made reservations for 4 nights at your place for the end of March.
    We're looking forward to our return to the lake again.
